    Question VT V6 Engine cover paint

    Hi all
    I want to paint the engine cover on my VT but just wondering which paint I should use? I've got vinyl and plastic paint but do I need the high temp engine paint? any help would be great.

    There is quite a lot on this site covering this topic already. Personally when I painted the lettering on mine I used high temp Engine Enamel.
